Katrina Vanden Heuvel Calls Out Bill Kristol

First posted FB 6/29/14:

Is “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” burying their own lead? Why isn’t their webpage even giving access to the round table? By far the most newsworthy item on the show was Katrina Vanden Heuvel calling out Bill Kristol: “The balance is off. For example, the President should go to Congress if he is going to take military action in Iraq, and that was a part of your interview, George. And I think, we’re sitting here at a moment, when we’re talking about John Boehner, but the central question about war and peace in this country, there is no military solution to Iraq. And I have to say, sitting next to Bill Kristol, I mean the architects of catastrophe that have cost this country trillions of dollars, thousands of lives, there should be accountability. If there are no regrets for the failed assumptions that have so grievously wounded this nation, I don’t know what happened to our politics and media accountability, but we need it Bill, because this county should not go back to war. We don’t need armchair warriors, and if you feel so strongly, you should, with all due respect, enlist in the Iraqi army.” THANK YOU Ms. Vanden Heuvel for speaking the truth to a megalomaniac neocon warmonger. I can't link you to the Roundtable, because apparently "The Week" staff are in the bathroom hiding. But here is a recent opinion piece by Ms. Vanden Heuvel: http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/katrina-vanden-heuvel-where-is-the-accountability-on-iraq/2014/06/16/eba0ff24-f597-11e3-a3a5-42be35962a52_story.html?wprss=rss_katrina-vanden-heuvel
